The cold weather attack

It is really cold today here in Phoenix. I used to live in colder climates but low 20-s are rare for the Valley Of The Sun.

I just checked my garden today and my blooming flowers are frozen. I wish I would have thought about this yesterday when I was covering the tender native plants with fabrics and towels. Well, the damage is done and we'll have to take care of the rest now.

It was sunny yesterday and I was not even thinking that the weather could change that quick. I should have suspected it when I got very cold at the Home And Garden Show yesterday. 

I had new cotton knit scarf with me and even thought it was unfinished (we are still working on this design) I wrapped it around my neck and it was a life saver. 

The show was so inspiring. I immediately wanted to make some more improvements  around the house, organize my space, everything... 

I am always fascinated to see how much care and attention people put in their creations to make things work. 

The aroma of cooking food was just more that I could take so we stopped for a quick monster lunch. It was completely unhealthy but it warmed us up. No fresh salads for me in this weather.

Have a wonderful weekend, my readers and stay warm. And if you don't feel warm enough please stop by our socksandmittens shop and see if you need any of our hand knit items :)

New designs at Socksandmittens for fall and winter season

We are adding some new assortments for the coming season in our SocksAndMittens shop. There are going to be more new designs and colors and as always, we are happy to accept custom orders.

 Leg warmers are our new item for this season. They are great to wear with your high heels or boots and they look really cool!

Our scarves this year are going to be bulky and in natural colors. I just love the look of a scarf-cuddled person!

The wraps are warm, romantic and simply gorgeous.

Please visit our shop to see the new selections!

A few knit wraps to compliment your outfit this winter

We started to make a new product for our shop, the coziest wraps which you can just tie or button.


Voilà! You are warm and feel gorgeous!


We are choosing soft colors for our models but we can custom make it in other shades also.

These shoulderettes are great to wear practically any time of year but especially around the holidays. Just one accessory can transform the whole look!

Beautiful in gray

Gray is one of my favorite colors. It's quiet, cozy and works great with your skin tone. It's the color of a cloudy sky but to me it's optimistic. Gray looks equally good in man's or woman's clothing, it's classic.Talking of knits, gray looks perfect in any type of stitch, lace or cable. Gloves, hats and scarves are perfect accessories to show how fabulous you are. Gray allow you to blend with surroundings and observe. Every shade of gray is gorgeous.
If a cloudy day is not what you are in a mood for today and you need some color, just add a splash of bright color. It will lift your mood.

Halloween at Socksandmittens

We do not have a big selection of Halloween items in our Socksandmittens shop this year.

Just a couple of cute black & orange knitted sock (remember, each witch MUST have a pair like these!) ......and long orange Halloween stocking (which will hold a generous amount of candy :))
The long black & orange striped scarf is perfect for the office Halloween party or just for everyday wear any time of year.

It is cute, you can wrap it however you want and even use it as a belt if you fancy.
Here is other items we made last year - any of these items are available for the custom orders. Just let us know and we'll be happy to make a one or two for you!
